The shambolic Champions League ‘Team of the Group Stage’ proves Uefa have lost the plot

Uefa have lost the plot

Kevin McGillicuddy

We can’t get our heads around the anti -Barcelona bias.

The current European champions only picked up their first La Liga player of the month gong last week for Neymar, despite winning every competition they entered in the 2014/15 season.

And now Uefa have gone and slapped Luis Enriques’ team in the face once again with their selection for the Champions League ‘Team of the Group’ stage.

Not one single Barcelona player has made the XI, with Raheem Sterling of Manchester City included in a midfield three of Willian and Belgian Sven Kums.

But it’s up front that we have a major problem, as no Messi, Neymar or Luis Suarez makes a mockery of the team.
